Alert box: A special feature just for this theme, the optional alert box appears at the top of the page and can contain an announcement or other notice that you want to keep prominent on your blog.

Hidden pages: Enter the page ID numbers of the pages you don’t want to display, and they’ll be hidden from the menu at the top of your blog.

Vigilance also has a custom image header and special widget options. You can display one wide sidebar or two thin sidebars on your blog. As always, you control the look of your blog by adding and removing widgets under the Appearance > Widgets menu. But now, special to Vigilance: If a sidebar doesn’t contain any widgets, it simply disappears.

hmm… interesting theme… can i still have my own custom header on it?
Looking around for a perfect theme I need. Im wondering how to add pictures and stuff. Still learning about wordpress, its all new to me! I have to admit..its interesting. 🙂 Thanks for the theme Heather

Hello there,
I’m delighted to have a new theme to try out tomorrow. I’m looking forward to trying out the customizable options. It sounds like it may be right for my blog. Thanks for sharing the news. 🙂

Oh. It would be nice but for me it appears totally different than what it looks like in the preview and on the screenshot above. Bigger fonts, ugly blockquote, black tagbox and the sidebar is under the post (although I use IE7 and Firefox). I wonder why, it would be a nice them if it looked like in the screenshot.

You can make Vigilance look pretty different depending on the options you choose and your blog/sidebar content. You’re right about the screenshot on the themes page. I will update it so it’s correct for WordPress.com.

A beautifully stylish theme and the ability to customize certain elements is a trend I hope WordPress.com expands on.

The only thing that would make Vigilance complete for me is the addition of an Archives page. (I know we can add the Categories and Archives widgets to our sidebar, but my blog’s sidebar is quite full already.)

Seems Very Simple and neat template , i really like it .
“special to Vigilance: If a sidebar doesn’t contain any widgets, it simply disappears.” This Feature is Great for peoples those Don’t like much rush on them blog … And Special alert box is also another cool touch from You … you guys Rock . i love you guys

I took a look at this and it has a lot of extra great options. I have actually been waiting for a new clean 3-column (fixed and with header) if there is one coming soon. Is this in your plans? If not, Vigilance will do wonderfully.

You can already use Vigilance as a clean, 3-column, fixed width, customized header image theme. 🙂 To get the sidebar to split into two sidebars, use the “Left Sidebar” and “Right Sidebar” options on the widgets page instead of the “Wide Sidebar.” If you use all 3, the left and right sidebars will appear below the wide sidebar.

It seems to be one of the best Themes of wordpress. but unfortunately all these themes do not appear properly in Persian. for example one of the culumns of Theme “Dig 3 column” is not shown in persian at all.

Ahhhhhhhhhh! Another simple, white theme that has the potential for two widget bars, but has no image header. I use an image header on my blog that I’m super obsessed with. I love it. But I’ve always wanted two widget sidebars and I insist on a simple white theme.
